After the discussions, the hotel will host a networking session in addition to Women’s Marketplace where female-founded businesses can showcase their products and services to attendees – demonstrating the organization’s main mission. Founded by mother-daughter duo and developers Dayssi Olarte de Kanavos and Sophia Kanavos, the Women’s Power Series was created to ensure all their properties were empowering and elevating women.

A portion of the proceeds from tickets will be donated to Women of Tomorrow.
